Welcome to the STAMPlorations™ blog! We host monthly challenges (theme and sketch; mixed media; CAS; TAGplorations; CUTplorations). We have a never-ending challenge exclusive to those who own STAMPlorations products. We spotlight projects by the design team, regularly publish tutorials, host fun blog hops, and announce new products. Our goal: encourage you to "stamp with all your ART!" through our challenges, inspiration projects, events, and products.

STAMPlorations Never-ending Anything Goes Challenge

This challenge has been open since September 2014!

If you have STAMPlorations stamps in your stash, this challenge is for you! Our monthly challenges (Theme & Sketch, CAS Card Challenge, CUTplorations, TAGplorations, and Mixed Media) are open to all (whether or not STAMPlorations products are used), but we thought it's a great way to reward our loyal customers and friends with a challenge that's exclusive to them and give them a chance to win more stamps!

The rules are simple:

This is an anything goes challenge so really, it's anything goes!

You must use STAMPlorations products (clear stamps, digi stamps, ARTplorations stencils, CUTplorations dies, and/or pages from our coloring book).You may use products by other companies but ours must be the "star" of your projects. (Using a small sentiment from any of our sets and then images from other stamp companies doesn't qualify - you can enter those to our other challenges, but not to this one. STAMPlorations products must be obvious and front-and-center in your creations.)

Submit as often as you want and combine with as many challenges as you want, so long as each project you submit is different.

Any and all types of projects are welcome.

Link directly to your blog post.

Display our special challenge badge on your blog post and link to this page to encourage others who have STAMPlorations stamps to play.

Have FUN!

This challenge has no deadline. The linky will not expire. It's a NEVER-ENDING CHALLENGE! Instead, for every 50 entries in the linky, we will randomly draw a winner who'll receive a $10 gift certificate to the shop. So the more you create projects using our stamps and link up, the higher your chances of winning! We will announce a winner each month or whenever we reach entries in multiples of 50 (50, 100, 150, 200, and so on).

And here's a STAMPlorations digi stamp if you don't have any of our clear stamps (yet) that you can use to play in this challenge. Re-size to suit, print, and use in your projects! (Keep checking this page often because we'll have a different free digi stamp every once in a while here!) If you use the image below in any of your projects that you post on your blog or social media account(s), please credit the image to me (Shery Russ) and link back to STAMPlorations. Thank you!

To download this digi stamp, click on it. You'll be able to download it from my Google Drive -- simply click on the download icon (an arrow pointing down) found on the upper right of the page. Save it to your computer. The downloaded image will not have the watermark you see on the preview below.

Terms of use: The free digi stamp is for your personal use only. You may not redistribute it or claim it as your own. Please respect the artist's intellectual property and copyright.

Have fun!

Gentle reminder: Did you use STAMPlorations products (clear stamps, digi stamps, stencils, dies, coloring page) in the project you're linking up to this particular challenge? If yes, please link up! If no, please don't link it to this challenge -- it will be deleted. We have other challenges (theme & sketch, mixed media, CAS card, and CUTplorations) that you can link up your project to and you can use whatever product you have. The Anything Goes Challenge is exclusively for projects that feature STAMPlorations products. Also please make sure that you are linking back to this page. Thank you!

I just joined the club and posted my first sketch challenge entry. I saw this challenge in your post. Please let me know if you think my use of your stamp set was featured enough on my card to be considered in this drawing. Thanks. Helene. I'm #124

Thank you Shery and Shirley...I just posted on your site my 1st card that I made last night with Houses and Live Laugh and Love stamp sets! I LOVE them! I got all my order yesterday and just had to play right away! Thank you for being such an inspiration my friends. Loved your sweet note with my order Shery :-) Hugs, Nancy

Thank you so much for the freebie...I love this image. This image was used for my first-time submission to one of your challenges as well, CASEplorations. I love the idea of "Anything Goes" Challenge which is Never Ending...you can be sure I will be adding more of my creations...now to go shopping.
